Drones attack three southern Russian regions and Crimea; Ozon warehouse on fire in Adygeysk

According to a morning update from the Russian Ministry of Defense, air defense forces "intercepted and destroyed" 709 Ukrainian drones overnight on November 4. The drones were downed over 14 Russian regions—including the Rostov and Krasnodar regions and the Republic of Adygea—as well as over occupied Crimea and the waters of two seas. As is customary, the ministry did not disclose the total number of drones deployed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the attack.

The governor of the Rostov region reported on his Telegram channel that 10 drones were shot down while repelling the overnight raid: these were intercepted in the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky and across four districts—Chertkovsky, Matveyevo-Kurgansky, Millerovsky, and Kamensky.

"There have been no reports of casualties or damage on the ground. This information is being verified," he added.

In Adygeysk, an Ozon logistics center was struck. The marketplace’s press service confirmed that no one was injured—employees were successfully evacuated—but a fire broke out at the warehouse.

"We are currently not accepting shipments from sellers at this logistics center, and those already in transit are being redirected to other facilities. Customers can continue to place orders as usual; we will fulfill them from other logistics hubs and ensure they reach the buyers," Ozon stated.

The Ozon warehouse in Adygea is the 12th logistics facility belonging to the company to be hit by drone strikes since August. The marketplace previously noted that losses resulting from these attacks have exceeded 30 billion rubles (over $367 million). Authorities in Krasnodar Krai did not comment on the nighttime attack.
